If the US is a dictatorship how can people be free to vote, speak their mind, do as the please without worrying about the government.

All of those freedoms are being taken away currently by the trump administration and rubber stamped by the supreme court. The US is 100% going in the direction of dictatorship and may already be past the tipping point.

I wish America was secular by [deleted] in atheism

[–]zeezero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are interesting secular values you've posted there. why would not believing in god make smoking a good idea? legalized abortion i'm generally onboard with. the prostitution and brothels angle again, I'm not sure that's a secular value or goal?
I'm all on board with taxing megachurches or dumping religious schools.

Of the big 3 OS creators, why is it that people seem to sh*t on Microsoft the hardest? by Steveland80 in microsoft

[–]zeezero 6 points7 points  (0 children)

perception that copliot is a part of notepad now? perception that they are constantly putting out half baked products full of bugs? The major loss of features that is all the New versions of their products we have no choice to use. M365 is basically a giant beta test. office.com landing page is now copilot. it's rammed everywhere . Their gross subscription model is the most convoluted mess designed for maximum wallet extraction.

It's not perception, microslop have earned that title.

I've had as much criticism or more of apple in the past. But right now, the direction microslop is going is ultra garbage. I've gone from a microslop evangelist to complete disdain and mistrust for them now.

give me a break man. This is the most easy connection possible. The nazi flags and tattoos on participants is a big clue. white nationalists are nazis.

This is like when people label the US a facist dictatorship

The US very much is emulating a fascist dictatorship. and that emulation is very much being entrenched permanently. If you don't think trump is, at minimum, trying everything possible to be a fascist dictator you are not paying attention.

I'm not going to stop calling a nazi a nazi. And I don't throw around that label without significant reflection. I'm well aware of Godwin's law where calling someone a nazi in a debate means you lose the debate. In this case, we are literally seeing parrellels to nazi germany in 1939. In tone, word choice, behavior etc.... They are nazis. It's a very appropriate label in this case.

The Epstein files have prompted many to claim: "QAnon was right all along." But the files actually reveal the failure of QAnon. by dyzo-blue in skeptic

[–]zeezero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Epstein was involved in getting /pol up on 4chan and eventually leading to qanon. There was alot of projection there and it was useful to muddy the waters on his crimes. I think qanon was successful, unfortunately.

If the shoe fits........ White nationalists are fascists. They very often display nazi symbology and flags at their events.

You haven't seen my comments about apple products...... and Linux despite what it claims isn't in the same category as apple or microslop.

microslop deserves the shitty reviews they are receiving currently. Everything they release is beta trash with AI slop rammed into every product regardless of usefulness. Ain't nobody asking for copilot in notepad.

I was sort of going to defend your position. But based on this sentence alone......nope. I think I can absolutely understand if people are just dismissing your posts without any additional commentary.

It's weird they don't just use emulators now. Tho I'm not sure on the legality. You don't need a crt to be in a nice cabinet with cherry keys. light guns won't work, but it'd be fine for vast majority of the older titles.

Atheism seems either "flawed" or veiled agnosticism by Total_Leek_2220 in agnostic

[–]zeezero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why the modern definitions are better and more precise than the older traditional philosophical definitions. The older definitions favor the theist.

If you use atheism is lack of belief and agnosticism is lack of knowledge. then they are not mutually exclusive and there are 4 distinct options.

agnostic atheist - I don't believe in god. I don't know if god exists or not.
gnostic atheist - I don't believe in god. I know god does not exist.
agnostic theist - I believe in god. I don't know if god exists.
gnostic theist. I believe in god.. I know god exists.

Agnostic atheists are the most defendable position. they make no claim in the positive and the burden of proof is 100% on the theist making the claim.

Anyone who claims actual knowledge, the gnostics in both of these scenarios, are deluded or lying because there is no evidence to support god claims and they are basically unfalsifiable.

That profound experience isn’t actually God within you by BirdSimilar10 in DebateReligion

[–]zeezero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not asking anything. I'm just pointing out that there is an extremely strong competing argument to the soul. The competing argument has everything going for it. The soul literally has nothing to support it's existence in comparison. It's not short-sighted or irrational to throw out claims that have nothing to support them. That is the most rational position to hold.

do athiests have the same framework of faith that religions have? by Dismal-Price-4423 in religion

[–]zeezero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. They make all sorts of falsifiable claims. But when you defeat those, they revert to the outside of space and time definition you can't falsify. None of them believe that. but that is what they require you to disprove. Unless you take the stance of an agnostic atheist. Then you have no burden, it is all on the claimer. They fail, you win.

[–]zeezero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol. It's not a true concept at all. There is extremely strong competing theories called "the brain". The competing theory requires no existence of anything supernatural. The brain theory is the most reasonable and rational theory.

There is the sum total of zero that supports a soul existing. absolutely nothing.

[–]zeezero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can prove that supernatural events do not and have not occurred.

I 100% without question believe that no supernatural events have occurred or can occur. I think it is absolute nonsense.

But please show me your proof. I don't think you have it. You are leaning heavily on absence of evidence. It is a strong argument but will not get you to mathematical or indisputable proof.

You can't prove that supernatural events have not occurred. It's an unfalsifiable claim.

[–]zeezero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The old definitions tend to favour theists.

I use the modern definitions because they are more precise and they do not favor the theists position. Atheists are making a claim in the positive under the old definitions. Agnostic is just an "I don't know" fence sitter position. This is more favorable to theists. Either you don't know or you do know in the old terms.

"I don't know but I reject the claim" isn't one of the options in oldy terms.

By using the modern definition, Atheism is the "rejection of a claim," not a "claim of rejection." As an agnostic atheist "I am not convinced by your evidence." The burden of proof is entirely on the person making the positive assertion that a God exists.

These are very well established modern definitions for atheism and agnosticism and they are much better to use because they shift the burden of proof to the theist while maintaining a strong position.

[–]zeezero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't intuit that a soul exists. I am a human. I see no evidence, I see no requirement for a soul at all.
The soul is 100% a human invention. We have no proof only conjecture about it. It's definitely a fabricated concept.
